Julia Roberts stunned in a hot pink Greta Constantine dress and and a Sabyasachi necklace Saturday night at the Los Angeles premiere of “After the Hunt.”

“This is the same dress I wore to the ‘Ticket to Paradise’ premiere in L.A. three years ago,” the Oscar winner told me on the red carpet at the Academy Museum. “October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so I wear it in honor of my best friend, who is a breast cancer survivor.”

Roberts has a been on a non-stop press and premiere tour since “After the Hunt” debuted in August at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival.

In other words, you’ll have to forgive the certified Swiftie for not having time yet to listen to Taylor Swift’s new album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”

“Heavens, we have been working,” Roberts said. “I’m an old lady who needs her rest. I will probably have a chance on our way to London on the plane where I have it earmarked.”

What does Roberts love so much about Swift?

“She’s just amazing,” she said. “She’s just a lovely human and great at expressing herself as an artist.”

Roberts was spotted at Swift’s Eras Tour in Dublin, Ireland, where she was seen in the VIP tent with Travis Kelce and Stevie Nicks, and in Chicago.

@taylorswift I Love You. Thank you for being EVERYTHING WE EVER NEEDED!” Roberts wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of Swift in 2023. “Ever. #Erastour #betty #13.”

Roberts also took her children, Phinnaeus and Hazel, to a Swift concert in 2015.

Directed by Luca Guadagnino and written by Nora Garrett, “After the Hunt” stars Roberts as a college professor whose student (Ayo Edebiri) accuses a fellow colleague (Andrew Garfield) of sexual assault. Rounding out the cast are Chloë Sevigny, Thaddea Graham, Will Price, Lio Mehiel and Ariyan Kassam.

It is scheduled for release by Amazon MGM Studios on Oct. 10.

Roberts walked the carpet on Saturday with Michael Stuhlberg, who plays her husband in the movie.

“I have a been a longtime admirer of Michael’s and I think from the beginning there was just something that felt so good and always a little where is this going to go?” Roberts said. “It just felt right. I never knew what Michael was going to do. He was always doing something.”
